White, circa 1920?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #3 on:** October 14, 2012, 06:22:30 AM »

Only its colour was white and it is exactly one decade older...

But it is from the USA, obviously.

Biiiig hint to get thios solved:

it´s been named after the biggest city in a heartland US-state.

It has been built there, too.

St. Louis?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #15 on:** March 16, 2013, 08:05:59 AM »

No, but it also starts with a letter from the end of the alphabet.

And the state lies in the core of the USA, next to Missouri.

Wichita

grobmotorix · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2013, 08:16:42 AM »

LOCKED for you!

But this is still not enough for a point...

The Wichita truck was built by the Wichita Falls Motor Company from Wichita Falls, Texas, not from Wichita, Kansas.

They started in 1911 and existed until 1932. The pictured truck with its solid tire wheels and chain drive makes me think that it was built some time around 1914/1916. Wichita built a range from 1-to to 5-ton trucks. The puzzle truck looks rather light, so I go for a 1.5-ton truck. The engines were made by Waukesha. What else do you want to know?

This is a 1910 model from a company with a very comparable name:

"Wichita Engineering Company" from Wichita Falls, Texas.

So I think this should be enough for a point.
